Chapter 6: Hope And Expectations
Rory bowed her head and took a deep breath as she stood up. Her pride is something she values a lot and she is keeping it aside to meet him. She hoped that she doesn’t get trampled by him.
She didn’t have the energy to bear his hurt once again. But at the corner of her heart, she held hope. She walked with her head held high.
Rory came across many curious gazes. She saw the staff peeking from behind the pillars and some casually walking through the hallways just to have a glance at her.
Is it because of my beauty?
Rory guzzled in her heart. But she knew the reason for those curious glances.
People do love gossip!
"Ms. Roberts, are you a relative to Mr. Roberts?" the secretary asked very hesitantly.
Rory didn’t know which Roberts she is asking about. But since she was in a fairly good mood, she decided to clear her curiosity.
"No," she told the secretary with a smile.
The secretary gave a polite nod, but Rory wondered why she got more confused by her answer. She didn’t mind that though. She gets this reaction all the time.
Her surname and his surname are the same. LR Holdings is his uncle’s company. Fitzwilliam is the CEO of one of the start-up subsidiary companies of LR Holdings.
Her grandparents and his grandparents are neighbors. When they were in school it did cause a lot of confusion and rumors.
